The Sunday Times reports that a government working
party s recent survey suggests that large quantities of
pesticides were found in vegetables in stores belonging to all
the big names. In some cases the quantities were over the legal
limits. credit pacific service union
The survey showed that Somerfield topped the list of
culprits with 70% of fresh fruit and vegetables found to
contain traces of chemical pesticides, but perhaps most
surprising was the announcement that Marks Spencer were
second with 68%. credit first service union
A lettuce from Tesco contained five different pesticides,
three above the legal limit. While there is no danger that the
levels of pesticides in the products offer dangers to health on
their own, the main concern is the fact that the figures show
the overal quantity of pesticide traces to be higher than ever
before. Such constant exposure to pesticides, albeit at
individually low levels, is thought to be potentially
dangerous. card credit mobile service

Bad News for Birds
A new survey shows that bird numbers are continuing to
decline, despite attempts to conserve Britain s species. Of
the ten categorized as on a red alert , not one has
seen an increase in numbers in the past five years, and six
have seen their populations decrease to a worrying extent. For
example, there are 43% fewer grey partridges, 28% less
bullfinches and 26% fewer corn buntings. card credit service wireless
Of those species included in the amber list, 110
have dropped by between 25% and 50% over the past 25 years. The
survey, entitled The State of the Nation s Birds,
was carried out by the British Trust for Ornithology, the Joint
Nature Conservation Committee and the Royal Society for the
Protection of Birds. Its author, Chris Mead, said in The
Times: Several of our birds would warrant a place on
the red or amber lists on the basis of just the past five years
let alone 25 years. Results of the survey will be disappointing
to the Government because the Species of Conservation Concern
are generally doing badly. credit security service union

Hose bans, every gardener s summer nightmare, look like
being a thing of the past, according to the Guardian
today. Work on leaky mains has meant that enough water has been
saved to supply 13 million people. credit report service
Only three years ago concerns were expressed about water
shortages in the South of England. Much of this was due to huge
amounts of water disappearing through leaky pipes. Thames
Water, for example, was losing 30% of its supply through its
antiquated Victorian systems. blogspot com christian
Public outcry occasioned by such figures forced the water
companies to abandon expensive plans to build new water
reservoirs and look to repairing their pipes. The results speak
for themselves: Thames Water s leakage rates are down from
24% to 19%, and Severn Trent from 24% to 12%. Some have dropped
below the targets set by Ofwat, the Government s watchdog,
others have some way to go: Thames, for example, still needs to
reduce their leakage by 8%. christian counseling credit

Garlic hit the headlines in Italy yesterday when it was
revealed that the pungent bulb will not make an appearance on
the Queen menu during her four-day visit to the
country. credit federal service union
The chefs catering for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have
all been instructed to avoid this and other essy spicy and
potentially dangerous foods (like shellfish). Yet Saverio
Crescente, the manager of one of Rome fashionable
restaurants, points out in The Times that the Queen is
missing out since garlic is ot only delicious but also very
good for the digestion. br credit monitoring service
Research proves Mr Crescente to be spot on. Garlic has been
shown to be effective in reducing the risks of stomach cancer
and ulcers, killing the bacteria that cause these conditions.
Studies carried out at the University of North Carolina
revealed that a daily diet of one or two cloves could help keep
these conditions at bay. In addition, garlic works to thin the
blood, helping to reduce the risk of heart attack and strokes
by preventing the blood from clotting. credit division service
Unfortunately, the most effective part of the bulb is the
smelliest, a compound known as allicin, which works best when
garlic is eaten raw br card credit online service

A Watery Lawn
Scientists have succeeded in growing a lawn of
algae on the surface of the sea, the journal Nature
reports today. The essential ingredient behind the
experiment s success was the addition of around 3 tons of
dissolved iron, which acted as a fertilizer. After six weeks
the area of algae had stretched from 50 square kilometres to a
strip 150 kilometres long. And, most importantly, tests showed
that the levels of carbon dioxide dissolved in the sea water
had dropped by 10%. card credit fleet service
It has been argued in the past that the reason for the
oceans lack of plant life was a corresponding lack of
iron. The success of this experiment has enabled scientists to
learn more about the possible reasons for climate change.
Professor Andrew Watson from the University of East Anglia says
in the Guardian today: The changes we saw after
adding the iron may well explain past changes in the
earth s carbon dioxide levels during and at the end of the
ice ages. We know that there was a far higher flux of iron in
the atmospheric dust to the oceans in glacial times. card consolidation credit

A dispute has broken out between developers of a new housing

view from the (unoccupied) royal palace in Kew
Gardens, which, the Queen s estate managers say
will be ruined by a series of 15-storey buildings that are
planned for Brentford in Middlesex. credit free online report
Despite being voted for unanimously in a public
consultation, and being positioned on a brownfield site, the
development has now been put on hold as a result of the Royal
Historic Palaces complaint. Commenting in the Daily

the development is too high it will be prominently visible and
will destroy the quality of the view. When you wander around
Kew Palace you get a wonderful feeling of being transported

be moving indoors from your garden to protect them from winter

paper suggests that you should use the light meter on your

is right. credit reporting service

The Tory party grandee has been creating an arboretum at his
Oxfordshire home, Thenford, for many years. He is now immensely
proud of his achievement and although the arboretum is only
rarely accessible to the public through occasional events to
raise money for the local church, privileged guests are led
amongst the trees while their host calls out the latin names
and date of planting. credit service tax
Now apparently his arboricultural skills are being
challenged and not only from the other side of the political
house, but from only a few miles away in the same county. The
Sunday Times reports that Shaun Woodward, who with his
wife Camilla, a Sainsbury heiress, purchased magnificent
Sarsden House near Witney in 1994, have plans to create their
own arboretum. aeon credit service
Woodward is certainly not the favourite of the Tory party
since his defection to Labour, but he is obviously not letting
his new political allegiance water down his seigneural
ambitions. Plans for the arboretum with an estimated cost of
50, 000 haved been submitted to the local council. The work
will clearly involve not just tree planting but also extensive
landscaping. Perhaps the Woodwards will be more rivalling the
work of their predecessor at Sarsden, the famous late-18th
century landscape designer Humphry Repton, than their political
near-neighbour. credit one service union
Garden Centre Defeats EU Bureaucracy
Another threatening tentacle of EU bureaucracy has been kept
at bay - and out of the gardening industry. The Daily
Telegraph reports that Hilliers, one of the UK s
leading garden centre groups, has just successfully defended an
action against the Environment Agency who tried to enforce a
ruling that plastic plant pots qualify as packaging and are
subject to relevant regulations of the European Union. bad cell credit phone service
This would be potentially very demanding as the legislation
stipulates that any company with a turnover in excess of m per
annum (Hillier s is around 9m) has to recycle a proportion
of their packaging waste. counseling credit debt service
The nursery was prosecuted by the Environment Agency for
failing to register its pots under the Producer Responsibility
Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997. But when the
case came to court the magistrate very sensibly decided
otherwise. card credit payment service
The magistrate ruled that the plastic pots are not
packaging, but an intrinsic part of the production
process of growing plants. He went on to describe his
broader reasons for concluding that the pot was an essential
part of the growing process and that any packaging was added
afterwards. card credit merchant
The decision will be greeted with relief by the gardening
industry at large. For many years now the ability to sell
plants grown in plastic pots, container-grown, has
revolutionised the trade in plants. Any move such as the
Environment Agency suggests would only become a potential
limitation on that trade. As Alison Lee said on behalf of the
gardening industry s representative group, the
Horticultural Trades Association, Thank goodness common
sense has prevailed. counseling credit family
The victory has not been without its cost, however. The
legal costs to the taxpayer were an estimated 0, 000 and
Hilliers are understandably smarting at the demands on their
resources - both human and financial - to fight the case. annual credit report request

Conserving The Countryside
An important conservation measure was announced by the
British government this week. Large tracts of countryside
called Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are to be given the
same measures of protection as National Parks. aspire card credit customer
The total area covers some 5 million acres representing some
16% of England compared to the 8% covered by National Parks.
The new measures will be incorporated into an amendment to the
Countryside and Rights of Way Bill. card counseling credit service
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty include vital landscape,
wildlife and wildflower habitats which will now be guaranteed
safety from detrimental planning requirements. The regulations,
